Last picture definitely looks like a GMC repowered with a Henschel engine; a cab taken on some other old truck was fitted too.
I snapped this Mansell Davies tanker on the A470 between Dolgellau and Mallwyd in April 2017. and another in Machynlleth
Cheers Leyland 600.

I’m wondering if any of you could be some help to identify where exactly I took this picture c. 1972. Certainly in the East End of London; there’s an Underground (maybe DLR nowadays) station with possibly a railway bridge in the far background. Only British cars there. Thanks.
Can you magnify the street sign near the underground sign. The closest I can get was gale street Dagenham. I googled J&M Furnature London and surprised to find this company is still trading assuming it is the same business? Unusual to find duplicate company names on company house.
1972 I had done many deliveries all parts of local London but like most businesses have relocated to large industrial estates.
Don’t give up the search
I have been searching for an Irish company since joining Trucknet. I worked for them 1972 to app 1975 Williames Transport Group with no luck until last week. Many thanks to tankerian Trucknet Irish groupage-allsorts from overhere.

A line up of some of our new trls!!
Thanks for taking in consideration my request! here’s a close-up, but it doesn’t give much more. The picture is a scan of a negative which had slepts for decades in a box, and needed a little renovation. It cna’t be in Dagenham, just because I never was so far out of London, especially eastwards. I’d say this pretty miserable place was probably located between the City and the Docklands, and probably was scraped away in some refurbishing plan since I took the picture in 1972. I took a while trying to spot an Underground station with a metallic railway brige just beside, but unsucessfully. The only matching location could have been Shadwell, but the railway bridge there (Fenchurch Street line) is made of bricks. The other pictures on the negative strip show derelict and about to be demolished brick buildings.kevmorrow:

it does look a bit like hackney wick station
In 1972, Hackney Wick station was not part of the Underground network (and I think is still not), though the old brick buildings around it do look much the same. Thanks for the suggestion.
My station could be either overground with the tracks passing on the metallic bridge in the background, either underground, and then the bridge would have been on a British Rail (that was before privatisation) line, with or without a passenger station and interchange.

It looks very much overground
“The system has 270 stations and 250 miles (400 km) of track. Despite its name, only 45% of the system is actually underground in tunnels, with much of the network in the outer environs of London being on the surface.”

Was in a quarry this week watching a Volvo loading shovel work. I could not believe how quiet it was and
it looked a very impressive machine. Looking at the attached article,modern loading shovel’s dont look that
much different to this one from 1964.

Hi coomsey, the odd looking cab on this Atkinson looks like a New Zealand built Taylor Hull cab. These were strengthened cabs that were able to withstand travel on unsealed roads which were quite common in NZ a few years back, the Walton le Dale built Atki cabs just shook themselves to pieces.
Here are a couple of photo I took in the Bill Richardson Museum at Invercargill back in 2007 showing a Taylor Hull cab alongside a Walton le Dale example.
Cheers, Leyland 600.
